Join us for upcoming Midwest Poetics where artists will share songwriting techniques with a peer group led by Hadiza. and Jade Green.

Kemper Library @ Charlotte Street Foundation

This workshop will intentionally avoid genre distinctions and maintain focus on exploring the contents of a lyric located inside a song. Hadiza. will give participants a peek under the hood of her own songwriting process to offer another perspective and approach for participants to use for their own writing processes. Jade Green will lead the workshop segment, LEANING INTO IT: Music aka Time as Ritual. This portion of the workshop will cover two or more different songwriting techniques – active and passive – as well as tips and tricks to help you fight for what you write. #﻿midwestpoetics #charlottestreet

She is currently using her time as a Charlotte Street Studio Resident to weave a solid and long enough pathway to give her the space to jump into the timeline in which she has already figured out her way of weaving together all of the above.
